So I was actually wondering why my client doesn't work when I use my university's internet. It loads quickly until like 87% and then just crashes..

I had a similar problem for other websites and found that syncing my windows clock and switching to a public dns pretty much eradicated the problem. I have very little actual technical knowledge and just went on instruction from those that know their stuff though, so I couldn't tell you exactly what those two things do.
Here are the instructions for switching DNS
Windows 8
- Hit the Windows Key
- Type "Control Panel"
- Select "Network and Internet"
- Select "Network and Sharing Center"
- Select "Change Adapter Settings" on the navigation bar on the left
- Right click on your network adapter and select "Properties"
- Select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and open "Properties"
- Go to the bottom of the menu and change ‘Obtain DNS server address automatically,’ to ‘Use the following DNS server addresses:’
- Put in the following public DNS servers, one in each empty field:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4- Save your changes by selecting “Ok”
- Close all open web browsers and applications
- Hit the Windows Key
- Right click anywhere
- Click on "All Apps"
- Right click "Command Prompt" and run as administrator
- Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.
- Restart your computer
Didn't beak anything for me and worked when I wanted to connect to online server after I was having major packet loss

Had this problem before and I just restarted my PC and it fixed it.
